Christmas and New Year’s Eve are just around the corner — and with them, the perfect excuse to go all out and decorate your table with a festive centerpiece. In recent years, natural and zero-waste decorations have become a major trend. So why not take inspiration from them to create a 100% natural, homemade table setup?
Not only will you save money, but you’ll also impress your guests with a one-of-a-kind, beautifully scented décor. Nature is full of treasures — fir or spruce branches, pinecones, and more — just gather what inspires you and craft a plant-based, waste-free centerpiece.
To create a Cool & Simply beautiful holiday table, just follow our guide below!
🌿 Bring greenery to your table
Invite the forest spirit into your home by placing fir, spruce, or juniper branches down the center of your table. These conifers are abundant in Quebec and can be sourced from your local florist, your backyard, or even a walk in the woods. Not only do they look great — they also fill the room with a fresh, natural scent.
🍊 Decorate with natural elements
Pinecones, small wood slices, and dried leaves all add a rustic, chic touch. You can even give them a holiday sparkle with a light mist of gold or silver spray paint, or some artificial snow.
Seasonal fruits like fresh cranberries, dried orange slices, or whole pomegranates will bring rich pops of colour to your festive table.
And for that magical glow, don’t forget to add a few candles to the centerpiece.
💐 Add colour and a whimsical touch
For an extra flourish, include a few fresh or dried flowers in shades that match your decor.
You can also get creative with place cards — tie them with natural twine or slip in a small fir sprig as a napkin ring.
The golden rule: let your creativity shine. Your table will be more than ready to welcome your guests in style!
